Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Chapter 2227 Cousin is a capitalist lady 53
After returning to the village, Zhang Yu quickly started preparing lunch, since she still had to work in the afternoon.

When Zhang Juan returned, she caught Zhang Hui just as she was getting off work. She grabbed her and told her everything that had happened. "Sister, you really have no idea how awful Zhang Yu is. I've never seen such a awful person before."

Zhang Huizhen agreed with Zhang Juan's description of Zhang Yu, "But there's nothing we can do, she's just too assertive right now."

She hadn't expected that even after bringing up Zhang Fu and his wife, Zhang Yu would remain completely unconcerned, leaving Zhang Hui at a loss for what to do.

"By the way, sis, don't worry, when we start cooking for ourselves, our food will definitely be just as good as Zhang Yu's." Zhang Juan was happy just thinking about what Zhang Yu had said before, that they would eat separately.

Sigh, Zhang Hui glanced at the excited Zhang Juan and really didn't understand why the girl was so happy about such a small thing.

"By the way, I heard Zhang Yu say that he wanted to give you the money for the pot. I was thinking that we've been using that pot for half a year, so we can't buy it at a lower price."

"If she doesn't have a pot, she'll still have to come and cook for us anyway." Zhang Juan really admired herself; she was truly a brilliant woman.

That's a good idea, but it's useless. "When we bought the pot, I paid for it and Zhang Yu paid for it. She said at the time that if we ate separately, she would give me the money back because she paid for it with industrial vouchers."

Zhang Hui had also considered asking for the pot, not believing that Zhang Yu wouldn't back down, but she quickly dismissed the thought. "We had a pre-arranged agreement, which briefly mentioned how the pot was purchased."

"We've already agreed on what to do with this pot if we break up," Zhang Hui sighed helplessly. "By the way, instead of writing home to ask my family to help prepare some industrial coupons, I just want to buy a pot."

Yesterday, Zhang Juan was really agitated, asking all sorts of questions, such as whether Zhang Yu was unlucky and how much her family disliked Zhang Yu, but she didn't mention this matter at all.

Industrial vouchers? Zhang Juan looked at Zhang Yu blankly, "What industrial vouchers? My parents and uncles and aunts didn't give me any."

No? Zhang Hui was truly stunned. "They...they didn't prepare anything for me. That shouldn't be the case. I told them about my situation here; they shouldn't have missed the letter."

Zhang Juan shook her head, "No, but it's unlikely we'll get you industrial vouchers, as things are tight at home."

"No way, I remember it was paid with the salary?" Zhang Fu and the others were considered minor leaders with decent salaries and industrial vouchers. In any case, since the voucher policy was implemented, Zhang Hui had never seen them worry about this.

Now that their wages have gone up and there are two more people in the family earning wages, why are the industrial vouchers not enough?

"My older brother has a girlfriend and needs to prepare a dowry and such, but industrial vouchers are in short supply."

"And Zhang Li, you have no idea, he just confirmed his relationship with Qiao Xue and he already bought her a lot of things."

"She bought a coat and leather shoes, and I heard she's also planning to buy a watch." Zhang Juan glanced at the watch on Zhang Hui's wrist; it was really beautiful, making one envious.

"I heard she's got her eye on a new Shanghai brand women's watch. It's really beautiful, and the watch alone costs over two hundred yuan," Zhang Juan said enviously.

A watch for over two hundred? Zhang Hui was already a little uncomfortable when she heard that Zhang Li had bought Qiao Xue a coat and leather shoes. Now, hearing that he was going to buy her a watch for over two hundred, she really couldn't keep up the smile.

"Are you really going to buy her such an expensive watch?" Zhang Hui realized something was off as soon as she said it. "How do you know Zhang Li's girlfriend is Qiao Xue?"

It's strange that Zhang Juan knows this news now, since her family had written to her beforehand instructing her to keep it a secret and not let her uncle and the others know until things are stable.

Zhang Hui's first thought was, could it be that Zhang Yu leaked the information? Indeed, there was no one else besides her. "I... I found out," Zhang Juan said, noticing Zhang Hui's less-than-ideal expression and assuming she knew nothing about it. "You have no idea, Zhang Li's girlfriend's family is very powerful."

After learning this news from Zhang Juan, Xu Ling naturally went out to investigate immediately. After learning Qiao Xue's name, she quickly found out about her family's situation.

"And sister, you have no idea how outrageous they could be, even though that family is supposed to be powerful."

Zhang Juan went on and on about how the Qiao family was planning to marry Qiao Xue off to a man from GWH who had been married three times. "If it weren't for the fact that Qiao Xue looks so much like her father, I really wouldn't dare to imagine that he is her father."

Zhang Hui was stunned and couldn't believe it at all. "You said, you said the Qiao family arranged a blind date for Qiao Xue."

"And the person who arranged it is someone from GWH, and he's already remarried. If he remarries, wouldn't that be his third marriage?" Zhang Hui simply couldn't believe it.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Could you have gotten the information wrong? It can't be, can it? Wasn't the Qiao family supposed to be quite well-off? Why would they arrange for us to be with such a family?"

Any family with decent means would never introduce a girl like that to their daughter. "If word gets out, will the Qiao family's daughter ever be able to get married again?"

“In Qiao Xue’s generation, she is the only daughter in the Qiao family, so the Qiao family probably doesn’t care.” Zhang Juan paused. “Besides, she’s just a daughter, how can she be as important as a son?”

Zhang Juan originally thought Zhang Hui would be the exception, but in the end, she still couldn't compare to her son.

Zhang Hui wasn't stupid; she knew Zhang Juan was trying to sow discord, but what she said was the truth. However, she had been holding her anger in for a long time, and she really couldn't hold back anymore.

After lunch, she told Zhang Yu about it. Zhang Juan, who was standing nearby, was taken aback. She had thought that Zhang Yu's constant fuss would make Zhang Hui hate her, but things turned out differently than she expected. Their relationship wasn't as bad as she thought.

Zhang Yu listened quietly to Zhang Hui's words, knowing that she must be very sad right now, after all, she was spoiled as a child. "It's normal. No matter what, Zhang Li is his son."

"Now that our son needs help, of course his parents should do their part."

"Think back to what you said to me back then, how you helped us overcome difficulties. It's hilarious."

“I’m busy all year round, cooking for you, washing your clothes, and cleaning your house. I only earn a few dollars after a year of hard work.”

"They've only been in a relationship for a short time, and now they're buying coats and leather shoes. They're even pooling their money to buy a watch. If they had any coupons, buying that watch would be a piece of cake."

Such a good opportunity, of course, cannot be missed. Zhang Yu added fuel to the fire, saying, "I wonder if that girl has a bicycle. If she doesn't, I wonder if she will need to buy one."

Given the obsequious manner of Zhang Gui and his family towards the Qiao family, it's quite plausible that this was the case.

Zhang Hui truly admired Zhang Yu; she was incredibly clear-headed. Things she initially thought were impossible turned out to be correct: "They really are possible."

“Qiao Xue has a bike.” Zhang Juan said that she rides a Phoenix brand women’s bike. “There are not many of those bikes, and they are not cheap, but they are really beautiful.”

Zhang Juan was genuinely envious, but Zhang Yu could tell what she was thinking at a glance. "Stop dreaming. You didn't even buy one for Zhang Hui, why would you?"

Unhappy, really unhappy. Although it was the truth, Zhang Yu's words still hurt Zhang Juan deeply.
